RE: What was the WORST session at IOUG/Collaborate or OOW you have ever seen

In fact, one of the worst was one of my own
presentations too.... It was, I think, the first one I
gave at IOUG-A. It was a great topic, but it was
terribly disjointed and was not nearly technical
enough. I seem to remember seeing Cary Millsap in the
crowd and being horrified.

I did somewhat redeem myself later with a better 9i
New Features presentation I think though...
